WINNING THE 24 hours of Le MANS IS THE BENCHMARK BY WHICH All SPORTS CARs MEASURE their endurance. ON JUNE 12, 2011, CORVETTE CAPTURED BOTH GT CLASS TITLES AT LE MANS, WITH THE FACTORY TEAM’S NO. 73 CORVETTE C6.R BEATING PORSCHE, FERRARI AND BMW FOR ITS 6TH CLASS WIN IN THE PAST 11 YEARS. Program Manager DOUG FEHAN AND TEAM DRIVER TOMMY MILNER TALK ABOUT their victory. TOMMY With six hours remaining in the race, we were looking good. Our sister car, the No. 74 Corvette, was in the lead, and we’d been running the No. 73 steadily in the top five for 17 hours. Then— bang!—the 74 Corvette gets tangled up with a Porsche, and suddenly24 HEURES DU MANS LE MANS, FRANCE Ferrari’s now in first and we’re a lap down. But as a team, we told ourselves: “We can make that up.” DOUG Louis Chevrolet was himself a racer, and his motto, “Never give up!” is a philosophy we embraced from our first visit here. Tommy’s codriver, Antonio Garcia, just started chipping away at the Ferrari, cutting the margin every lap. Tommy took over at the 21st hour and continued to reel in the Ferrari, gaining as much as six seconds per lap during his stint. With about two hours and 10 minutes to go, he made the pass for the lead on the Mulsanne Straight. Antonio brought it home for the win, just one lap separating first and second. TOMMY That was the hardest race of my life. I’d been super comfortable in the car all day long, but I was not comfortable right then, when I caught the Ferrari. We still had a few hours to go, and the pressure was crazy. I was just trying to drive the car to what the track would allow. Every lap it changed, every corner it changed. For 24 hours, the only thing you’re living, breathing and sleeping is racing. You drive into the night and through the night. The sun comes up and you go, “OK, we’re almost there, right?” You look at your watch again—another eight hours to go. You’re just completely engulfed in this one race. DOUG Le Mans is a test of man and machine, and testing yourself and your limits, and seeing how well you can perform for 24 hours straight without making any mistakes. I think our come-from- behind win embodied the spirit of our Chevrolet cofounder.

HARLAN People ask me all the time, why is a small block V8 the idealpowerplant for Corvette?TADGE The Chevy small block V8 is an engineering marvel. It’s extremelycompact. It’s an engine that produces tremendous power for its mass.HARLAN Right, the horsepower-per-liter is really irrelevant when it comesto Corvette. To us it’s about horsepower-per-weight, or another way tolook at it, horsepower and miles per gallon,1 a combination of efficiencyand power. And Corvette really is a benchmark of the world.KIRK Yes, you can have a 7.0-liter LS7 without a gas-guzzler tax.TADGE In a standard Corvette with the 6.2-liter engine, you have a largedisplacement engine that’s still lightweight, offers good fuel economy andproduces a lot of power.HARLAN That low-end torque you get from having the larger displacementengine makes Corvette so much fun to drive, and easy to drive.TADGE You don’t have to wind it up to 8500 rpm to get power out of it. Youget huge power and torque at very low rpm ranges. This makes the carfeel very responsive.DOUG You know, as a testament to that, I sit on the committee thatform­lates the rules for global GT racing. Every manufacturer is urepresented—it’s the BMW guy, it’s the Ferrari guy, it’s the Jaguar guy, it’sthe Porsche guy, it’s the Aston Martin guy. These are very exotic vehicles,super-high price tags, very exotic powerplants, multi-cam, multi-valve,super-high revving, very expensive. You know what their singing songis? “Your small block V8 engine...we can’t compete with that.” I said,“Guys...guys, if our engine is as great as you say it is, why don’t you haveit in your car? Why are you building these big, complicated, massive,chain-driven, multi-valve engines?” They don’t have an answer! Whenyou look at cost, performance, efficiency, power, torque, maintenance,warranty...a 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.2 Hello? Theycan’t do that. You don’t get that with the others. You get it all withCorvette. That’s a testament to the longevity, the design robustness,durability of our small block V8s. Single cam. Two valves—it gets it done. THIS IS WHERE THE MAD SCIENTISTS WORK, THE ONES WHO CONTINUE TO PUSH THE PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL OF THE GM POWERTRAIN DEVELOPMENT CENTER PONTIAC, MI LEGENDARY CHEVY SMALL BLOCK V8. WHETHER IT’S THE BASE CORVETTE LS3 V8, THE Z06 LS7 OR THE ZR1 LS9, THEY CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS TO MAKE tremendous POWER AND TORQUE, WITHOUT SACRIFICING DURABILITY OR FUEL EFFICIENCY. 1 This fine-tuning results in a sports car that eXcels in everyday use and also delivers amazing performance capabilities. 1 EPA-estimated MPG city/highway: coupe, convertible, GS 16/26; Z06 15/24 ; ZR1 14/21. 2 Whichever comes first.

AMONG THE VISITORSDOUG When we were getting the Corvette race car certified internationally, ARE NEW CORVETTE OWNERS WHO have the oppor-they came to look at our race car. We had the body work off it, and we had a tunity to watch THEIR ACTUAL CAR COME DOWN THE ASSEMBLY LINE.chassis sitting there, and they thought it looked like a truck chassis.I said, 1 Corvette is assembled in Bowling Green, KY, with U.S. and globally“Well, it kinda looks like that; it’s a parallel ladder frame. But those are, by sourced parts.the way, hydroform rails.” We’d led in hydroform technology implementation,okay? And I said, “When you see it built up as a race car, you’ll understand howstiff and strong we can make that.” And that led the competitors to complain,“This is a tube-frame race car.” Well, you know what? Yeah, it is, because that’swhat we do in production; we’re building tube-frame race cars in productionbecause it’s lightweight, super-strong, safe, and it gets the job done.TADGE The fact that the engine is compact means the rails Doug was talkingabout, now can be of larger sections. Large-section rails are very light andvery stiff, so the engine in that way helps the structure be efficient. So there’sa real synergy between the kind of powertrain and the engine we use, and theefficiency of the rest of the car.HARLAN To achieve the Z06’s high performance standards while main­­tainingexcellent fuel economy,1 we made substantial reductions in vehicle mass,improving the mass distribution between the front and rear of the vehicle.To save weight without sacrificing strength, we used a magnesium enginecradle, magnesium steering column support, and a magnesium roof frame;hydroformed aluminum rails and roof bow; and high-strength aluminumbumper beams. The floor pan has an ultra-lightweight balsa wood corewith a carbon fiber skin. The front fenders and front wheelhousing are alsomade of carbon fiber.TADGE The standard Corvette has a steel space frame consisting mainlyof stamped steel and hydroformed components that are joined via welding. CORVETTE ASSEMBLY PLANT BOWLING GREEN, KYTo save weight, we wanted an aluminum spaceframe for the Z06. It weighsjust 278 lbs., 33% less than the steel frame. One challenge was that aluminumis less stiff than steel. We exceeded our stiffness goals by transferring loads YOU WANT Athrough to a lightweight magnesium roof frame solidly bolted into thestructure. The Z06 also has an industry-first, one-piece magnesium die-cast BETTER RACE CAR?engine cradle, which weighs 24 lbs.—a 35% mass reduction over the aluminumversion. The cradle supports the engine, brake control module and steering BUILD A BETTERgear. It also ties the frame rails together and acts as the mounting point forcertain front suspension components, such as the lower control arms. STREET CAR.1 EPA-estimated MPG 15 city/24 highway.

TADGE With typical front-engine cars, the transmission is attached to theengine and you get a 55%–57% front weight bias—Corvette gets closer to50/50 by taking that entire transmission and moving it to the rear. Thatshifts a large amount of mass rearward in the vehicle. That helps you getthe power to the ground.DOUG For Corvette you get the same kind of setup, with the rear transaxle,and our Short/Long Arm suspension, whether it’s the street car or therace car. Some of our competitors don’t have that on their street car, butthe rules allow them to go at it with their race car.HARLAN Magnetic Selective Ride Control is one of the fastest-reacting TMtechnologies available for variable suspension. It’s available on every2012 Corvette model. On the Z06, it’s available two ways, either on itsown or with the Z07 Package which combines that with the ceramicbrakes and the PS Cup tires. And it’s standard on the ZR1.DOUG It really gives you the best of both worlds, since the shock absorberhas an enormous amount of authority. Basically going from no dampingto almost solid, it gives you the ability to computer-control the behaviorof the suspension in ways that we never imagined we could do years ago.So you combine an extremely plush ride, for daily driving, or you can tiethe car down and do all sorts of trick things for the track when you’redoing performance driving.TADGE On Z06 and ZR1, with Magnetic Selective Ride Control you getPerformance Traction Management, which is basically a traction controlfor the racetrack. So when you’re coming out of the turn you can set itas aggressively as you want, and you can just give it wide-open throttlecoming out of the corner, and the car is designed to give you the maximumacceleration it’s capable of.TOMMY It’s a heck of a lot of fun.HARLAN Launch control is standard on every Corvette with manualtransmission. And basically all you have to do when you’re on the track,you put the car in competitive mode, you push the button twice, and youpush the clutch in, and wide-open throttle, and then you just let the clutchout and just hang on. Do YOU HAVE AN INNOVATION THAT HELPS CORVETTETADGE It automatically adapts to the surface that you’re on, so it has a ACCELERATE FASTER, STOP QUICKER, STEER MORE PRECISELY,closed feedback loop, it looks at how much the tire is slipping and then OR OTHERWISE RAISE THE PERFORMANCE BAR?

HARLAN One of the things I’m excited about is an available next-generation Bose® premium audio system, which is now up to nine speakers. KIRK We’ve made a huge improvement to the sound system. HARLAN It’s an all-new system, reequalized, with new bass speakers and ND technology with ten-inch woofers in the doors. TOMMY Of course the engine makes the best noise. TADGE Yes, Corvette has a smart dual-mode exhaust.3 TOMMY Smart exhaust? TADGE It’s a vacuum-actuated valve that sits behind the muffler. Back pressure goes down, noise level goes up, and it’s all music. KIRK Dual-mode exhaust is optional on coupe and convertible and on Grand Sport. It’s standard on Z06 and ZR1. It gives you six more horsepower! HARLAN Yep, the dual-mode exhaust actually gives you horsepower, gives you torque. So it has some real functional benefit. But it’s almost like the Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ where it creates a car with a dual personality. As a4 daily driver, when you don’t have your foot in too much, it gives you a nice burble in the background. But once you get on it and the tach swings past 3000, those valves open up and it sounds like it’s turned into the race car.

TADGE For Grand Sport, we set an engineering challenge: 4:1:26. That’s a 0-to-60 time under four seconds, a skid pad result of at least 1.0g, and highway fuel efficiency of 26 miles per gallon. That’s the EPA estimate. HARLAN And you did it. Truly remarkable. A lot of things done specifically for the Z06 to make that car a strong performer were added to the Grand Sport. So it has the wider tires, it has the larger brakes, 6-piston front, 4-piston rear, and it has different gear ratios. So with the LS3 engine, we’re able to get 430 horsepower, and a 0-to-60 time under four seconds— 3.95 seconds. Also, because of the wide tires and the larger stabilizer bars, the car does over 1.0g on the skid pad. And it still maintains that 26 miles per gallon highway rating. If you want an all-around Corvette, the Grand Sport gives you a great combination of performance, handling and efficiency, and we think those numbers, you know, that acceleration, that skid pad, and that fuel economy.1 KIRK You can see the performance when you look at the car, even before you drive it. Grand Sport, as well as all the rest of the uplevel Corvette models, have performance features like rear brake cooling. It starts with a visible duct on the rear quarter panel. So it gives you a design element that looks different, looks very performance oriented. The ductwork routes from the opening on the surface around the tire and then points that cool air toward the rear brakes, helping to keep them cool, so lap after lap, if you’re on the track, they stay cool, and the brake feels consistent and very powerful. 1 EPA-estimated MPG 16 city/26 highway. THE SKID PAD. IT’S PART OF THE MILFORD PROVING GROUND’S 67-ACRE ASPHALT VEHICLE DYNAMICS TEST AREA, ALSO KNOWN AS“BLACK LAKE.” IT’S WHERE CORVETTE COMEs TO GET A GRIP, LITERALLY. TEST DRIVERS TRACE THE RADIUS OF A TIGHT, CIRCULAR PATH, PUSHINGTHE LATERAL ACCELERATION FORCES TO THE POINT WHERE THE tires FINALLY LOSE TRACTION AND THE CAR SPINS OUT. ANY CAR THAT CANPULL AROUND .90G OR HIGHER IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE EXCELLENT GRIP. CORVETTE GRAND SPORT ACHIEVES AN EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH 1.0G.

HARLAN The Performance Build Center isn’t like a typical assembly line.A single skilled craftsman moves the engine from station to station,hand-fitting the exotic components—the forged steel crank, forgedtitanium connecting rods, flat-top aluminum pistons, titanium intakevalves, hollow stem sodium-filled exhaust valves and dry-sump oilingsystem. All stuff that was inspired by racing, where lightweight yetstrong components are essential.TADGE At one station, the forged crankshaft is lowered into the engineblock. At another, the camshaft is installed. The crank and cam aretorque-tested. A computer-controlled torque wrench tightens nearlyevery nut and bolt on the engine, and every torque is recorded. So you’vegot very tight control over the assembly. An engine cannot proceed to WE DON’Tthe next station if it fails a computer test, and the builder can pull anengine off the line if he spots something that’s not perfect.The completed JUSTengine is briefly run through a portion of its rpm range, with horsepowerand torque values recorded for quality control. A computer determines BUILD CARS.whether weights need to be added to the damper or flywheel for balance. WE BUILDHARLAN After balancing, the engine is dynoed for about 20 minutes atfull output. When the three-and-a-half-hour engine build is complete, DREAMS.you’ll know exactly who built your engine. The craftsman’s name is on it. WITH THE Z06 OR ZR1, YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF TRAVELING TO THE PERFORMANCE BUILD CENTER IN WIXOM, MI, AND HAND-ASSEMBLING YOUR CAR’S LS7 OR LS9 ENGINE. IT’S CALLED THE CORVETTE ENGINE BUILD EXPERIENCE. At the performance build center, each CORVETTE ENGINE is HAND-BUILT BY A SINGLE SKILLED CRAFTSMAN. WITH THEIR SUPERVISION AND SUPPORT, YOUR ENGINE CAN BE BUILT WITH YOUR VERY OWN HANDS. ONCE YOUR BUILD IS COMPLETE, THE ENGINE IS TESTED AND CERTIFIED. THEN YOU CAN OPT TO WATCH YOUR CORVETTE AS IT’S BEING ASSEMBLED IN BOWLING GREEN, KY, AND EVEN TAKE DELIVERY OF IT AT THE NATIONAL CORVETtE MUSEUM.
